FIELD OF INVENTION

The present application relates to organosilicones and compositions suchas consumer products comprising such organosilicones, as well asprocesses for making and using such organosilicones and suchcompositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Silicones are used in premium consumer products to benefits such assoftness, hand, anti-wrinkle, hair conditioning/frizz control, colorprotection etc. Unfortunately, silicones, including currentorganosilicones, are expensive, difficult to process, and may lack therequired chemical and/or physical stability. Typically, such physicaland/or chemical stability problems manifest themselves as creamingand/or discloration of a consumer product that comprises silicone. Inaddition, such discloration may not only occur in product but also onsurfaces that are treated with the consumer product that comprises thesilicone. Current silicone technologies are expensive due to the cost ofraw silicone raw materials and the silicone emulsification step that isrequired to make such silicones useful in products. Thus, what is neededis an economical silicone technology that has the required chemical andphysical stability when used in a consumer product.

Fortunately, Applicants recognized that the source of the problemdriving the need for the silicone emulsification step was the lack offunctional groups on the silicone. Thus, Applicants discovered thatcertain low cost functional groups can be attached to a silicone toyield an organosilicone that can be easily emulsified and thereforeeconomical silicone. In addition, Applicants realized that certain,select functional groups can provide dramatically higher care benefitsthan the general pool of functional groups.

Thus, Applicants disclose certain highly effective, economicalorganosilicones and compositions such as consumer products comprisingsuch organosilicones, as well as processes for making and using suchorganosilicones and such compositions.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present application relates to organosilicones and compositions suchas consumer products comprising such organosilicones, as well asprocesses for making and using such organosilicones and suchcompositions.

Such processes typically include the steps ofpreparing a fibrous element composition, such as a fiber composition, inthe form of a suspension in a medium, either wet, more specifically anaqueous medium, i.e., water, or dry, more specifically a gaseous medium,i.e. air. The suspension of fibers within an aqueous medium isoftentimes referred to as a fiber slurry. The fibrous element suspensionis then used to deposit a plurality of fibrous elements onto a formingwire or belt, in the case of a wet-laid process, and a collection deviceor belt, in the case of an air-laid process. Further processing of thefibrous structure may be carried out such that a finished fibrousstructure is formed. For example, in typical papermaking processes, thefinished fibrous structure is the fibrous structure that is wound on thereel at the end of papermaking. The finished fibrous structure maysubsequently be converted into a finished product, e.g. a sanitarytissue product. The fibrous structure may be subjected to a one or moreconverting operations, such as embossing, tuft-generating, thermalbonding and calendering. The random or blocky organosilicone polymersdisclosed in the present specification may be deposited onto the fibrousstructure at any process during the making and/or converting of thefibrous structure. In addition, the random or blocky organosiliconepolymers disclosed in the present specification may be included in thefibrous slurry used to form the fibrous structure. In another example,the random or blocky organosilicone polymers disclosed in the presentspecification may be included in a surface treating composition, such asa surface softening composition and/or a lotion composition that isapplied to a surface of the fibrous structure and/or by way of transferfrom a drying belt and/or Yankee dryer during the fibrous structuremaking process. In yet another example, the random or blockyorganosilicone polymers disclosed in the present specification may beprinted onto a surface of the fibrous structure, such as via a gravureroll. The random or blocky organosilicone polymers disclosed in thepresent specification may also be sprayed onto a surface of the fibrousstructure, such as by an ink-jet printing process. Lastly, the random orblocky organosilicone polymers disclosed in the present specificationmay be extruded onto a surface of the fibrous structure.The fibrous structure may be made up of fibers and/or filaments.Non-limiting examples of filaments include meltblown and/or spunbondfilaments.

Such fibers are typically used inpapermaking and are oftentimes referred to as papermaking fibers.Papermaking fibers useful in the present invention include cellulosicfibers commonly known as wood pulp fibers. Applicable wood pulps includechemical pulps, such as Kraft, sulfite, and sulfate pulps, as well asmechanical pulps including, for example, groundwood, thermomechanicalpulp and chemically modified thermomechanical pulp.

Method of Making Shampoo Formulations

Any suitable method of making the shampoo of the present invention maybe used. In one embodiment, undecyl-based surfactant is blended with theother components of the shampoo compositions, according to standardmethods known in the art. The typical procedure used for a clarifyingshampoo would be to combine the undecyl sulfate paste or undecethsulfate paste or mixtures thereof with water, add the desired watersoluble co-surfactant and finish the composition by the additionpreservatives, pH control agents, perfume, and salts to obtain thetarget physical properties. If a water insoluble co-surfactant isdesired the surfactant and water mixture can be heated to a suitabletemperature to facilitate its incorporation. If a rheology modifier isdesired it can be added to the surfactant mixture prior the finishingstep.

In the case of conditioning shampoos, typically the surfactant paste iscombined with the co-surfactant as above and diluted with water to atarget level commensurate to achieving the final activity. Rheologymodifiers can be added at this point followed by conditioning agents,e.g. sucrose polyesters, silicones or silicone emulsions or other oils,cationic polymers from polymer premixes, perfumes, pearlizing agents oropacifiers, perfumes, and preservatives. Appropriate mixing steps toinsure homogeneity are used as needed. The product is finished by theaddition of pH control agents, hydrotropes, and salts to the desiredphysical properties.

Method of Making Conditioner Formulations

The hair conditioners can be prepared by any conventional method wellknown in the art. They are suitably made as follows: deionized water isheated to 85° C. and cationic surfactants and high melting point fattycompounds are mixed in. If necessary, cationic surfactants and fattyalcohols can be pre-melted at 85° C. before addition to the water. Thewater is maintained at a temperature of about 85° C. until thecomponents are homogenized, and no solids are observed. The mixture isthen cooled to about 55° C. and maintained at this temperature, to forma gel matrix. Silicones, or a blend of silicones and a low viscosityfluid, or an aqueous dispersion of a silicone is added to the gelmatrix. When included, poly alpha-olefin oils, polypropylene glycols,and/or polysorbates are also added to the gel matrix. When included,other additional components such as perfumes and preservatives are addedwith agitation. The gel matrix is maintained at about 50° C. during thistime with constant stirring to assure homogenization. After it ishomogenized, it is cooled to room temperature. A triblender and/or millcan be used in each step, if necessary to disperse the materials.

Compact Formulations

The present invention can also be used in a compact hair careformulation. A compact formula is a formula which delivers the samebenefit to the consumer at a lower usage level. Compact formulations andmethods of making compact formulations are described in US ApplicationPublication No 2009/0221463A1.

Inturn, the perfume core may comprise a perfume and optionally a diluent.Suitable perfume microcapsules may include those described in thefollowing references: published USPA Nos 2003-215417 A1; 2003-216488 A1;2003-158344 A1; 2003-165692 A1; 2004-071742 A1; 2004-071746 A1;2004-072719 A1; 2004-072720 A1; 2003-203829 A1; 2003-195133 A1;2004-087477 A1; 2004-0106536 A1; U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,645,479; 6,200,949;4,882,220; 4,917,920; 4,514,461; RE 32,713; 4,234,627; EP 1393706 A1.Capsules having a perfume loading of from about 50% to about 95% byweight of the capsule may be employed.

The shell material surrounding the core to form the microcapsule can beany suitable polymeric material which is impervious or substantiallyimpervious to the materials in the core (generally a liquid core) andthe materials which may come in contact with the outer surface of theshell. In one aspect, the material making the shell of the microcapsulemay comprise formaldehyde. Formaldehyde based resins such asmelamine-formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resins are especiallyattractive for perfume encapsulation due to their wide availability andreasonable cost.

One method for forming shell capsules useful herein is polycondensation,which may be used to produce aminoplast encapsulates. Aminoplast resinsare the reaction products of one or more amines with one or morealdehydes, typically formaldehyde. Non-limiting examples of amines aremelamine and its derivatives, urea, thiourea, benzoguanamine, andacetoguanamine and combinations of amines. Suitable cross-linking agents(e.g. toluene diisocyanate, divinyl benzene, butane diol diacrylate,etc) may also be used and secondary wall polymers may also be used asappropriate, as described in the art, e.g., anhydrides and theirderivatives, particularly polymers and copolymers of maleic anhydride asdisclosed in published USPA 2004-0087477 A1.

Microcapsules having the liquid cores and polymer shell walls asdescribed above can be prepared by any conventional process whichproduces capsules of the requisite size, friability andwater-insolubility. Generally, such methods as coacervation andinterfacial polymerization can be employed in known manner to producemicrocapsules of the desired characteristics. Such methods are describedin Ida et al, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,870,542; 3,415,758; and 3,041,288.

Cyclodextrin. A suitable moisture-activated perfume carrier that may beuseful in the disclosed multiple use fabric conditioning composition maycomprise cyclodextrin. As used herein, the term “cyclodextrin” includesany of the known cyclodextrins such as unsubstituted cyclodextrinscontaining from six to twelve glucose units, especiallybeta-cyclodextrin, gamma-cyclodextrin, alpha-cyclodextrin, and/orderivatives thereof, and/or mixtures thereof. A more detaileddescription of suitable cyclodextrins is provided in U.S. Pat. No.5,714,137. Suitable cylodextrins herein include beta-cyclodextrin,gamma-cyclodextrin, alpha-cyclodextrin, substituted beta-cyclodextrins,and mixtures thereof. In one aspect, the cyclodextrin may comprisebeta-cyclodextrin. Perfume molecules are encapsulated into the cavity ofthe cyclodextrin molecules to form molecular microcapsules, commonlyreferred to as cyclodextrin/perfume complexes. The perfume loading in acyclodextrin/perfume complex may comprise from about 3% to about 20%, orfrom about 5% to about 18%, or from about 7% to about 16%, by weight ofthe cyclodextrin/perfume complex.

The cyclodextrin/perfume complexes hold the encapsulated perfumemolecules tightly, so that they can prevent perfume diffusion and/orperfume loss, and thus reducing the odor intensity of the multiple usefabric conditioning composition. However, the cyclodextrin/perfumecomplex can readily release some perfume molecules in the presence ofmoisture, thus providing a long lasting perfume benefit. Non-limitingexamples of preparation methods are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,552,378,and 5,348,667.

Suitable cyclodextrin/perfume complexes (or perfume cyclodextrinmicrocapsule) may have a small particle size, typically from about 0.01to about 200 micrometer, or from about 0.1 less than about 150micrometer, or from about 1.0 to about 100 micrometer, or from about 10to about 50 micrometer.

The multiple use fabric conditioning compositions may comprise of fromabout 0.1% to about 25%, or from about 1% to about 20%, or from about 3%to about 15%, or from about 5% to about 10%, by weight of the totalfabric conditioning composition, of cyclodextrin/perfume complex.

Moisture-Activated Cellular Matrix Microcapsule Moisture-activatedand/or water-soluble perfume cellular matrix microcapsules are solidparticles containing perfume stably held in the cells within theparticles. Details about moisture-activated perfume cellular matrixmicrocapsules are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,971,852. A suitablemoisture-activated perfume cellular matrix microcapsule may be perfumestarch microcapsule which uses starch as the cellular matrix material.

Moisture-activated perfume cellular matrix microcapsules may have a sizeof from about 0.5 micron to about 300 microns, from about 1 micron toabout 200 microns, or from about 2 microns to about 100 microns. Theperfume loading in the cellular matrix microcapsules may range fromabout 20% to about 70%, or from about 40% to about 60%, by weight of themicrocapsules. Sufficient amount of perfume moisture-activatedmicrocapsules should be used to deliver the desired levels of perfume,depending on the perfume loading of the microcapsules. For microcapsuleswith a perfume loading of about 50%, typical level of the matrixmicrocapsules may comprise from about 0.1% to about 15%, from about 0.5%to about 7%, from about 0.8% to about 8%, or from about 1% to about 6%,by weight of the multiple use fabric conditioning composition.

A dispersing agent may be used to distribute the moisture-activatedperfume cellular matrix microcapsules uniformly in the molten multipleuse fabric conditioning composition. Suitable dispersing agents for usein combination with moisture-activated cellular microcapsules includeblock copolymer having blocks of terephthalate and polyethylene oxide.More specifically, these polymers are comprised of repeating units ofethylene and/or propylene terephthalate and polyethylene oxideterephthalate at a molar ratio of poly(ethylene/propylene)terephthalateunits to polyethylene oxide terephthalate units of from about 25:75 toabout 35:65, said polyethylene oxide terephthalate containingpolyethylene oxide blocks having molecular weights of from about 300 toabout 2,000. The molecular weight of this polymeric dispersing agent maybe in the range of from about 5,000 to about 55,000.

Another suitable dispersing agent for use in combination withmoisture-activated cellular microcapsules may be block copolymer havingblocks of polyethylene oxide and of polypropylene oxide. Non-limitingexamples of dispersing agent of this type include Pluronic® surfactantsand Tetronic® surfactants.

In the process of preparing a multiple use fabric conditioning bar, asuitable dispersing agent may first be added to the fabric conditioningcomposition melt mixture with mixing, and the moisture-activated perfumestarch microcapsules may then be added to the melt mixture with mixing,and the resulting mixture may be poured into a mold to form a multipleuse fabric conditioning bar.

Porous Carrier Microcapsule—A portion of the perfume composition canalso be absorbed onto and/or into a porous carrier, such as zeolites orclays, to form perfume porous carrier microcapsules in order to reducethe amount of free perfume in the multiple use fabric conditioningcomposition. When the perfume is to be adsorbed onto zeolite, theperfume ingredients forming the encapsulated perfume composition can beselected according to the description provided in U.S. Pat. No.5,955,419.Pro-perfume—The perfume composition may additionally include apro-perfume. Pro-perfumes may comprise nonvolatile materials thatrelease or convert to a perfume material as a result of, e.g., simplehydrolysis, or may be pH-change-triggered pro-perfumes (e.g. triggeredby a pH drop) or may be enzymatically releasable pro-perfumes, orlight-triggered pro-perfumes. The pro-perfumes may exhibit varyingrelease rates depending upon the pro-perfume chosen. Pro-perfumessuitable for use in the disclosed compositions are described in thefollowing: U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,378,468; 5,626,852; 5,710,122; 5,716,918;5,721,202; 5,744,435; 5,756,827; 5,830,835; and 5,919,752.Processes of Making Fabric and/or Hard Surface Cleaning and/or TreatmentCompositions

QCM-D Method for Measuring Fabric Deposition Kinetics of a SiliconeEmulsion

Another aspect of the invention provides for methods of assessing theTau Value of a silicone emulsion. Preferably the Tau Value is of about10 or less, below 10, below 8, below 5 or even from below 5 to about0.5.

This method describes the derivation of a deposition kinetics parameter(Tau) from deposition measurements made using a quartz crystalmicrobalance with dissipation measurements (QCM-D) with fluid handlingprovided by a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) pumpingsystem. The mean Tau value is derived from duplicate runs, with each runconsisting of measurements made using two flow cells in series.

QCM-D Instrument Configuration

A schematic of the combined QCM-D and pumping system is shown in FIG. 1.

Carrier Fluid Reservoirs:

Three one liter or greater carrier fluid reservoirs are utilized (15 a,15 b, 15 c) as follows:

Reservoir A: Deionized water (18.2 MΩ); Reservoir B: Hard water (15 mMCaCl₂ 2H₂O and 5 mM MgCl₂ 6H₂O in 18.2 MΩ water); and Reservoir C:Deionized water (18.2 MΩ). All reservoirs are maintained at ambienttemperature (approximately 20° C. to 25° C.).Fluids from these three reservoirs can be mixed in variousconcentrations under the control of a programmable HPLC pump controllerto obtain desired water hardness, pH, ionic strength, or othercharacteristics of the sample. Reservoirs A and B are used to adjust thewater hardness of the sample, and reservoir C is used to add the sample(16) to the fluid stream via the autosampler (17).

Carrier Fluid Degasser:

Prior to entering the pumps (18 a, 18 b, 18 c), the carrier fluids mustbe degassed. This can be achieved using a 4-channel vacuum degasser (19)(a suitable unit is the Rheodyne/Systec® #0001-6501, UpchurchScientific, a unit of IDEX® Corporation, 619 Oak Street, P.O. Box 1529Oak Harbor, Wash. 98277). Alternatively, the carrier fluids can bedegassed using alternative means such as degassing by vacuum filtration.The tubing used to connect the reservoirs to the vacuum degasser (20 a,20 b, 20 c) is approximately 1.60 mm nominal inside diameter (ID) PTFEtubing (for example, Kimble Chase Life Science and Research Products LLC1022 Spruce Street PO Box 1502 Vineland N.J. 08362-1502, part number420823-0018).

Pumping System:

Carrier fluid is pumped from the reservoirs using three single-pistonpumps (18 a, 18 b, 18 c), as typically used for HPLC (a suitable pump isthe Varian ProStar 210 HPLC Solvent Delivery Modules with 5 ml pumpheads, Varian Inc., 2700 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek Calif. 94598-1675USA). It should be noted that peristaltic pumps or pumps equipped with aproportioning valve are not suitable for this method. The tubing (21 a,21 b, 21 c) used to connect the vacuum degasser to the pumps is the samedimensions and type as those connecting the reservoirs to the degassers.

Pump A is used to pump fluid from Reservoir A (deionized water).Additionally, Pump A is equipped with a pulse dampener (22) (a suitableunit is the 10 ml volume 60 MPa Varian part #0393552501, Varian Inc.,2700 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek Calif. 94598-1675 USA) through whichthe output of Pump A is fed.Pump B is used to pump fluid from Reservoir B (hard water). The fluidoutflow from Pump B is joined to the fluid outflow of Pump A using aT-connector (23). This fluid then passes through a backpressure device(24) that maintains at least approximately 6.89 MPa (a suitable unit isthe Upchurch Scientific part number P-455, a unit of IDEX® Corporation,619 Oak Street, P.O. Box 1529 Oak Harbor, Wash. 98277) and issubsequently delivered to a dynamic mixer (25).Pump C is used to pump fluid from Reservoir C (deionized water). Thisfluid then passes through a backpressure device (26) that maintains atleast approximately 6.89 MPa (a suitable unit is the Upchurch Scientificpart number P-455, a unit of IDEX® Corporation, 619 Oak Street, P.O. Box1529 Oak Harbor, Wash. 98277) prior to delivering fluid into theautosampler (17).

Autosampler:

Automated loading and injection of the test sample into the flow streamis accomplished by means of an autosampler device (17) equipped with a10 ml, approximately 0.762 mm nominal ID sample loop (a suitable unit isthe Varian ProStar 420 HPLC Autosampler using a 10 ml, approximately0.762 mm nominal ID sample loop, Varian Inc., 2700 Mitchell Drive,Walnut Creek Calif. 94598-1675 USA). The tubing (27) used from the pumpC outlet to the backpressure device (26), and from the backpressuredevice (26) to the autosampler (17) is approximately 0.254 mm nominal IDpolyetheretherketone (PEEK™) tubing (suitable tubing can be obtainedfrom Upchurch Scientific, a unit of IDEX Corporation, 619 Oak Street,P.O. Box 1529 Oak Harbor, Wash. 98277). Fluid exiting the autosampler isdelivered to a dynamic mixer (25).

Dynamic Mixer:

All of the flow streams are combined in a 1.2 ml dynamic mixer (25) (asuitable unit is the Varian part #0393555001 (PEEK™), Varian Inc., 2700Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek Calif. 94598-1675 USA) prior to enteringinto the QCM-D instrument (28). The tubing used to connect pumps A & B(18 a, 18 b) to the dynamic mixer via the pulse dampener (22) andbackpressure device (24) is the same dimensions and type as thatconnecting the pump C (18 c) to the autosampler via the backpressuredevice (26). The fluid exiting the dynamic mixer passes through anapproximately 0.138 MPa backpressure device (29) (a suitable unit is theUpchurch Scientific part number P-791, a unit of IDEX® Corporation, 619Oak Street, P.O. Box 1529 Oak Harbor, Wash. 98277) before entering theQCM-D instrument.

QCM-D:

The QCM-D instrument should be capable of collecting frequency shift(Δf) and dissipation shift (ΔD) measurements relative to bulk fluid overtime using at least two flow cells (29 a, 29 b) whose temperature isheld constant at 25 C±0.3 C. The QCM-D instrument is equipped with twoflow cells, each having approximately 140 μl in total internal fluidvolume, arranged in series to enable two measurements (a suitableinstrument is the Q-Sense E4 equipped with QFM 401 flow cells, BiolinScientific Inc. 808 Landmark Drive, Suite 124 Glen Burnie, Md. 21061USA). The theory and principles of the QCM-D instrument are described inU.S. Pat. No. 6,006,589.

The tubing (30) used from the autosampler to the dynamic mixer and alldevice connections downstream thereafter is approximately 0.762 mmnominal ID PEEK™ tubing (Upchurch Scientific, a unit of IDEX®Corporation, 619 Oak Street, P.O. Box 1529 Oak Harbor, Wash. 98277).Total fluid volume between the autosampler (17) and the inlet to thefirst QCM-D flow cell (29 a) is 3.4 ml±0.2 ml.

The tubing (32) between the first and second QCM-D flow cell in theQCM-D instrument should be approximately 0.762 mm nominal ID PEEK™tubing (Upchurch Scientific, a unit of IDEX® Corporation, 619 OakStreet, P.O. Box 1529 Oak Harbor, Wash. 98277) and between 8 and 15 cmin length. The outlet of the second flow cell flows via PEEK™ tubing(30) 0.762 mm ID, into a waste container (31), which must reside between45 cm and 60 cm above the QCM-D flow cell #2 (29 b) surface. Thisprovides a slight amount of backpressure, which is necessary for theQCM-D to maintain a stable baseline and prevent siphoning of fluid outof the QCM-D.

Test Sample Preparation

Silicone test materials are to be prepared for testing by being madeinto a simple emulsion of at least 0.1% test material concentration(wt/wt), in deionized water (i.e., not a complex formulation), with aparticle size distribution which is stable for at least 48 hrs at roomtemperature. Those skilled in the art will understand that suchsuspensions can be produced using a variety of different surfactants orsolvents, depending upon the characteristics of each specific material.Examples of surfactants & solvents which may be successfully used tocreate such suspensions include: ethanol, Isofol® 12, Arquad® HTL8-MS,Tergitol™ 15-S-5, Tergitol™ 15-S-12, Tergitol™ TMN-10 and Tergitol™TMN-3. Salts or other chemical(s) that would affect the deposition ofthe active should not to be added to the test sample. Those skilled inthe art will understand that such suspensions can be made by mixing thecomponents together using a variety of mixing devices. Examples ofsuitable overhead mixers include: IKA® Labortechnik, and Janke & KunkelIKA® WERK, equipped with impeller blade Divtech Equipment R1342. It isimportant that each test sample suspension has a volume-weighted, modeparticle size of <1,000 nm and preferably >200 nm, as measured >12 hrsafter emulsification, and <12 hrs prior to its use in the testingprotocol. Particle size distribution is measured using a static laserdiffraction instrument, operated in accordance with the manufacturesinstructions. Examples of suitable particle sizing instruments include:Horiba Laser Scattering Particle Size and Distributer Analyzer LA-930and Malvern Mastersizer®.

The silicone emulsion samples, prepared as described above, areinitially diluted to 2000 ppm (vol/vol) using degassed 18.2 MΩ water andplaced into a 10 ml autosampler vial (Varian part RK60827510). Thesample is subsequently diluted to 800 ppm with degassed, deionized water(18.2 MΩ) and then capped, crimped and thoroughly mixed on a Vortexmixer for 30 seconds.

QCM-D Data Acquisition

Microbalance sensors fabricated from AT-cut quartz and beingapproximately 14 mm in diameter with a fundamental resonant frequency of4.95 MHz±50 KHz are used in this method. These microbalance sensors arecoated with approximately 100 nm of gold followed by nominally 50 nm ofsilicon dioxide (a suitable sensor is available from Q-Sense®, BiolinScientific Inc. 808 Landmark Drive, Suite 124 Glen Burnie, Md. 21061USA). The microbalance sensors are loaded into the QCM-D flow cells,which are then placed into the QCM-D instrument. Using the programmableHPLC pump controller, the following three stage pumping protocol isprogrammed and implemented:

Fluid Flow Rates for Pumping Protocol:

Fluid flow rates for pumps are: Pump A: Deionized water (18.2 MΩ) at 0.6ml/min; Pump B: Hard water (15 mM CaCl2.2H2O and 5 mM MgCl2.6H2O in 18.2MΩ water) at 0.3 ml/min; and Pump C: Deionized water (18.2 MΩ) at 0.1ml/min.

These flow rates are used throughout the three stages delineated below.The three stages described below are collectively referred to as the“pumping protocol”. The test sample only passes over the microbalancesensor during Stage 2.

Pumping Protocol Stage 1: System Equilibration

Fluid flow using pumps A, B, and C is started and the system is allowedto equilibrate for at least 60 minutes at 25 C. Data collection usingthe QCM-D instrument should begin once fluid flow has begun. The QCM-Dinstrument is used to collect the frequency shift (Δf) and dissipationshift (ΔD) at the third, fifth, seventh, and ninth harmonics (i.e. f3,f5, f7, and f9 and d3, d5, d7, and d9 for the frequency and dissipationshifts, respectively) by collecting these measurements at each of theseharmonics at least once every four seconds.

Stage 1 should be continued until stability is established. Stability isdefined as obtaining an absolute value of less than 0.75 Hz/hour for theslope of the 1^(st) order linear best fit across 60 contiguous minutesof frequency shift and also an absolute value of less than 0.2/hour forthe slope of the 1^(st) order linear best fit across 60 contiguousminutes of dissipation shift, from each of the third, fifth, seventh,and ninth harmonics. Meeting this requirement may require restartingthis stage and/or replacement of the microbalance sensor.

Once stability has been established, the sample to be tested is placedinto the appropriate position in the autosampler device for uptake intothe sample loop. Six milliliters of the test sample is then loaded intothe sample loop using the autosampler device without placing the sampleloop in the path of the flow stream. The flow rate used to load thesample into the sample loop should be less than 0.5 ml/min to avoidcavitation.

Pumping Protocol Stage 2: Test Sample Analysis

At the beginning of this stage, the sample loop loaded with the sampleis now placed into the flow stream of fluid flowing into the QCM-Dinstrument using the autosampler switching valve. This results in thedilution and flow of the test sample across the QCM-D sensor surfaces.Data collection using the QCM-D instrument should continue throughoutthis stage. The QCM-D instrument is used to collect the frequency shift(Δf) and dissipation shift (ΔD) at the third, fifth, seventh, and ninthharmonics (i.e. f3, f5, f7, and f9 and d3, d5, d7, and d9 for thefrequency and dissipation shifts, respectively) by collecting thesemeasurements at each of these harmonics at least once every fourseconds. Flow of the test sample across the QCM-D sensor surfaces shouldproceed for 30 minutes before proceeding to Stage 3.

Pumping Protocol Stage 3: Rinsing

In Stage 3, the sample loop in the autosampler device is removed fromthe flow stream using the switching valve present in the autosamplerdevice. Fluid flow is continued as described in Stage 1 without theintroduction of any additional sample. This fluid flow will rinse outresidual test sample from the tubing, dynamic mixer, and QCM-D flowcells. Data collection using the QCM-D instrument should continuethroughout this stage. The QCM-D instrument is used to collect thefrequency shift (Δf) and dissipation shift (ΔD) at the third, fifth,seventh, and ninth harmonics (i.e. f3, f5, f7, and f9 and d3, d5, d7,and d9 for the frequency and dissipation shifts, respectively) bycollecting these measurements at each of these harmonics at least onceevery four seconds. Flow of the rinsing solution across the QCM-D sensorsurfaces should proceed for 20 minutes of rinsing before stopping theflow and QCM-D data collection. The residual sample is removed from thesample loop in the autosampler through the use of nine 10 ml rinsecycles of deionized (18 MΩ) water, each drained to waste.

Upon completion of the pumping protocol, the QCM-D flow cells should beremoved from the QCM-D instrument, disassembled, and the microbalancesensors discarded. The metal components of the flow cell should becleaned by soaking in HPLC grade methanol for one hour followed bysubsequent rinses with methanol and HPLC grade acetone. The non-metalcomponents should be rinsed with deionized water (18 MΩ). After rinsing,the flow cell components should be blown dry with compressed nitrogengas. All components of the pumping system connected in the flowstreamduring Stage 2 should be thoroughly rinsed by pumping 1.5 ml/min of PumpB and 3.5 ml/min of Pump A through all components at a flow rate of 5ml/min for 10 min.

Data Analysis Voigt Viscoelastic Fitting of the QCM-D Frequency Shiftand Dissipation Shift Data

Analysis of the frequency shift (Δf) and dissipation shift (ΔD) data isperformed using the Voigt viscoelastic model as described in M. V.Voinova, M. Rodahl, M. Jonson and B. Kasemo “Viscoelastic AcousticResponse of Layered Polymer Films at Fluid-Solid

Interfaces: Continuum Mechanics Approach” Physica Scripta 59: 391-396(1999). The Voigt viscoelastic model is included in the Q-Tools software(Q-Sense®, version 3.0.7.230 and earlier versions), but could beimplemented in other software programs. The frequency shift (Δf) anddissipation shift (ΔD) for each monitored harmonic should be zeroedapproximately 5 minutes prior to injection of the test sample (i.e. fiveminutes prior to the beginning of Stage 2 described above).

Fitting of the Δf and ΔD data using the Voigt viscoelastic model isperformed using the third, fifth, seventh, and ninth harmonics (i.e. f3,f5, f7, and f9, and d3, d5, d7, and d9, for the frequency anddissipation shifts, respectively) collected during Stages 2 and 3 of thepumping protocol described above. Voigt model fitting is performed usingdescending incremental fitting, i.e. beginning from the end of Stage 3and working backwards in time.

In the fitting of Δf and ΔD data obtained from QCM-D measurements, anumber of parameters must be determined or assigned. The values used forthese parameters may alter the output of the Voigt viscoelastic model,so these parameters are specified here to remove ambiguity. Theseparameters are classified into three groups: fixed parameters,statically fit parameters, and dynamically fit parameters. The fixedparameters are selected prior to the fitting of the data and do notchange during the course of the data fitting. The fixed parameters usedin this method are: the density of the carrier fluid used in themeasurement (1000 kg/m³); the viscosity of the carrier fluid used in themeasurement (0.001 kg/m-s); and the density of the deposited material(1000 kg/m³).

Statically and dynamically fit parameters are optimized over a searchrange to minimize the error between the measured and predicted frequencyshift and dissipation shift values.

Statically fit parameters are fit using the first time point of the datato be fit (i.e. the last time point in Stage 2) and then maintained asconstants for the remainder of the fit. The statically fit parameter inthis method is the elastic shear modulus of the deposited layer wasbound between 1 Pa and 10000 Pa, inclusive.

Dynamically fit parameters are fit at each time point of the data to befit. At the first time point to be fit, the optimum dynamic fitparameters are selected within the search range described below. At eachsubsequent time point to be fit, the fitting results from the prior timepoint are used as a starting point for localized optimization of the fitresults for the current time point. The dynamically fit parameters inthis method are: the viscosity of the deposited layer was bound between0.001 kg/m-s and 0.1 kg-m-s, inclusive; and the thickness of thedeposited layer was bound between 0.1 nm and 1000 nm, inclusive.

Derivation of Deposition Kinetics Parameter (Tau) from Fit QCM-D Data

Once the layer viscosity, layer thickness, and layer elastic shearmodulus are determined from the frequency shift and dissipation shiftdata using the Voigt viscoelastic model, the deposition kinetics of thetest sample can be determined. Determination of the deposition kineticsparameter (Tau) is performed by fitting an exponential function to thelayer viscosity using equation 1 below:

$\begin{matrix}{{{Viscosity}\mspace{14mu} (t)} = {{{Amplitude}\mspace{14mu} \left( {1 - {\exp \left( {- \left( \frac{t - t_{0}}{Tau} \right)} \right)}} \right)} + {Offset}}} & {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 1}\end{matrix}$

where viscosity, amplitude, and offset have units of kg/m-s and t, t₀,and Tau have units of minutes, and “exp” refers to the exponentialfunction e^(x). The initial timepoint of this function (t₀) isdetermined by the time at which the test sample begins flowing acrossthe QCM-D sensor surface, as determined by the absolute value of thefrequency shift on the 3^(rd) harmonic (|Δf3|) being greater than 2 Hz.Equation 1 should be used only on data which fall between t₀ and the endof stage 2. The amplitude of this function is determined by subtractingthe minimum film viscosity determined from the Voigt viscoelastic modelduring stage 2 of the HPLC method from the maximum film viscositydetermined from the Voigt viscoelastic model during stage 2 of the HPLCmethod. The offset of this function is the minimum layer viscositydetermined from the Voigt viscoelastic model during stage 2 of the HPLCmethod. Tau is fit to minimize the sum of squared differences betweenthe layer viscosity and the viscosity fit determined using Equation 1.Tau should be calculated to one decimal place. Fitted values for Taudetermined from the two QCM-D flow cells in series should be averagedtogether to provide a single value for Tau for each run. Subsequently,Tau values from the duplicate runs should be averaged together todetermine the mean Tau value for the test sample.

Stability Test

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the stability of the QCM-Dresponse (i.e. frequency shift and dissipation shift) throughout thepumping protocol described above. In this test, the sample injectedduring stage 2 of the pumping protocol described above should bedegassed, deionized water (18.2 MΩ). Frequency shift and dissipationshift data for the third, fifth, seventh, and ninth harmonics (f3, f5,f7, and f9 and d3, d5, d7, and d9 for the frequency and dissipationshifts, respectively) are to be monitored. For the purposes of thisstability test, stability is defined as obtaining an absolute value ofless than 0.75 Hz/hour for the slope of the 1^(st) order linear best fitacross 30 contiguous minutes of frequency shift and also an absolutevalue of less than 0.2/hour for the slope of the 1^(st) order linearbest fit across 30 contiguous minutes of dissipation shift, from each ofthe third, fifth, seventh, and ninth harmonics. If this stabilitycriterion is not met during this test, this indicates failure of thestability test and evaluation of the implementation of the experimentalmethod is required before further testing. Valid data cannot be acquiredunless this stability test is run successfully.

Determination of % Discoloration of the Composition Comprising theOrganosilicone:

The degree of discoloration is assessed using Hunter LABScan instrumentfollowing standard procedure to measure the *b value. Hunter LABScan iscalibrated according to instrument specifications and protocol. Theparameters of the Hunter LAB Scan Instrument include Luminance: D65,Color Space: CIELAB, Area View: 1.75, Port Size: 2.0, UV Filter: In, andsample cover cup used to cover port and petri dish from background lightinterference.

Ten milliliters of the sample solution are then transferred from the jarinto a clear plastic petri dish (NUNC brand 50×15 mm petri dish fromFisher Scientific, Rochester, N.Y.) with a lid. Samples are thenanalyzed and the b value is reported. If the visual color change of thesample is in the direction of yellow, the Hunter *b value is reported.To determine the % change in *b versus control, the following equationis applied:

% Discoloration=[(*b sample−*b reference)/*b reference]×100

wherein reference formulation is the composition which does not containany silicone.
